what about desalinization, the source is less effected by climate change than fresh water. it presents design issues but water manager cans plan around that. the key issue is, energy. desalination is energy intensive and those will be increasingly scrutinizeed the future because of climate issues. it's about one third in southern california next most sensitive operation but that gap is shrinking rapidly and it's conceivable in a decade or sooner, it might take less to de sal has been declining and we may actually at some point reach a breaking point that a lot of folks did not think was possible and we might be able to invest in desalination, it's really interesting potential development. next slide. what that means, is when you look at how it will effect the full range of water management tools available of tools that rely on snow,pack, traditional resources will perform more poorly with de sal as the wild card there. the good news here - and i brought that the sources we believe are the sources with the greatest potential in the future. this shows the potential yield from

i meant to ask maurine, she described the - well, what i want to know is are they valuing the desalination, not one of them i've seen accounts for rising sea level example. it might be done for some but not all of them. are they be evaluated underhigher temperature scenarios. are the yield numbers being evaluated that. are the ones under existing scenarios and i'd like to know that and if the answer is, no, it ought to be. it will effect the economic decisions made and ultimately investments in part infrastructure. we may choose not to do many things differently, and accept a higher level of risk, but i would argue that if we're smart we will do things differently to reduce exposure for the future. >> just because it came out yesterday. the department of water resources has done a number of runs with reservoirs in inflows in the sierra area and it's 30 percent of inflows likely from today. the worst case is a reduction of 19 percent a big reduction. upstream at, fulsom, yesterday it was like ten billion dollars to build that reservoir and that's a great example for water managers to take w

there is adequate water but for purposes of golf development desalination with very modern techniques that are now available is the key. >>reporter: to really put a resort on the map though takes a championship, which was the thinking behind the only greek international golf tournament, the aegean airlines proam. this year saw the 5th competition take place in at the costa navarino resort on the peloponnese coast. which some see as the heart of the new golf industry in greece. >>vassilakis: they have given the example of excellence on golf resorts. its been created by golfers! i mean all the family of konstantakopoulos, all three men are golfers, especially captain vassilis. >>reporter: costa navarino opened its gates in may 2010. with the usual luxury hotels and villas, plus a greek olive oil concept spa. but more importantly a golf course designed by bernard langer and a second duenext year by robert trent jones junior. the final cost will be 1.6 billion dollars and the resort will have 5 signature courses. nearly doubling the greek total. >>constantakopoulos: all in measure... i th

i propose the desalination plants and a giant pipeline along the border. maybe a special i.d. where mexicans can cost up -- come up and work. it could bring in high-speed rail. it is protecting the pipeline. just start thinking about all the stuff and make it a duty free area. we could sell bonds to the public. why aren't our millionaires getting together and doing the giant projects? real infrastructure can provide jobs and address many problems. host: we will get a response. guest: that is a great question. we are going to hear a big idea. the president has already referred to the sputnik moment he is looking for. we need to move forward. this is a global market. that is a theme he wanted to get out last week. he is looking for a big idea. the caller pointed out the task. are president's aides looking back at the biography of reagan. there is a question of how you spur this mechanism. russell can speak to this better. how do we get this $2 trillion dollars on the books in corporate america and compel corporate america to start spending the money and getting americans back to
